Domaine Cavalier - Cabernet/Syrah - Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert / Val de Montferrand (organic)

* No shipping, please collect in one of our shops *

Domaine Cavalier is located in the heart of the Château de Lascaux vineyards, around a Cévennes farmhouse. The blending of grape varieties for these wines gives them a unique identity, while allowing the terroir to express itself. The vines are planted on limestone and sandy soil, and the vegetation is characterised by wild garrigue. There are white oaks, holm oaks, Salzmann pines and heather. On the border between Brouzet and Corconne, the slightly cooler climate gives the grapes optimum ripeness.

A nose of black cherry and eucalyptus. Notes of cocoa. A pleasant nose, both intense and structured. On the palate, a fresh, well-structured wine that is very tasty.

The vineyard has been farmed organically since 2006 and biodynamic practices were introduced 5 years ago.
